So often I hear all the discussion about how unfair healthcare is today. Moaning and groaning about how the insurance companies are unfair and taking all their money. Especially when I am at work. As most of you may or may not know I work in healthcare. It is so so funny to me everytime I hear Doctors complain about healthcare and President Obama since most of the ones that I work with are conservatives. Especially since it is the conservatives that are the main ones wanting to repeal President Obama's health care initiatives.
We really and truly NEED a healthcare overhaul. It is crazy that so many people use the Emergency Room for their personal doctor appointments. Another crazy thing is when most of my friends are having to drop their insurance coverage because they cannot afford the rates. When is this going to end? I will tell you when this is going to end it will end when the politicians pay their own healthcare and get paid minimum rage and since I cannot see that happening this craziness may never end. When it comes down to it Canada has the right idea. I would MUCH rather pay higher taxes and get healthcare without question.
Realistically WE NEED HEALTHCARE REFORM without the politicians worrying about the HUGE kickback payments that they receive from insurance companies for their re-elections. President Obama has the right idea with his healthcare plan in my opinion. All these Politicians NEED to start caring about their constituents instead of caring about their own purse strings. This my friends is where WE come into the equation. OUR vote counts. Start paying attention to where your political party gets their money. Use nonpartison sights for your information. The BEST website is FactCheck.org.
When I put into my Bing search NonPartison sites these Two sites came up for me:
*Project Vote Smart in a nutshell is an organization that provides outstanding information on every current or prospective elected official and does what it can to inform the public about the respective person's entire history. Its research is exhaustive and its accuracy is never put into question. Project Vote Smart is one of the best nonpartisan sites on the web.
*Spot-On is armed with more than 10 witers, Spot On provides readers with viewpoints from BOTH sides of the aisle and allows its writers to say whatever they think. The content is individually liberal or individually conservative, but taken together, the site's vision is NONpartisan.
I constantly hear conservatives where I work and some friends of mine on Facebook bitchin and complaining about President Obama's insurance initiative...well all I can say is atleast he is trying to do something about this horrible healthcare we have here in the United States. It is broke folks and it is breaking us more and more everyday. Stop the Bitchin and Start the fixin.
These are my thoughts and feelings from Jillsville.
